nasa says now more like 7,000. it ripped through the air like a blade through fabric triggering sonic booms and an immense shock wave when it exploded. when it shattered miles above the earth, we're told it released 20 times the energy, more powerful than the hiroshimo bomb in japan. it was powerful enough to knock down doors and shatter windows across one city. officials say more than 1,000 people went for medical treatment. flying glass blamed for most of those injuries. one witness saying when older women in the neighborhood spotted it, they started screaming that the world was ending. and just about everybody seemed a little freaked out. >> it was very confusing because the building was shaking a little bit, so initially i thought it was an earthquake. but then i knew i heard this loud bang, so i thought some sort of explosion, either a gas leak or a bomb or -- once i saw this streak in the sky, i thought it was either a plane crash or a missile. >> can you blame him? the shock waves shattered a wall 900 miles

but in australia some imagery is available and coming in thanks to nasa. as for a direct hit, well, astronomers worldwide are watching, they're excited but not worried. this asteroid's about half a football field long or roughly the size of a 12-story building like this. that certainly is big enough to wipe out a city, but scientists say at least today that is not going to happen. the real threat, though small, is to communications satellites like the ones we at fox news use. the geosynchronous plane is 22,000 miles around the earth, and da14 penetrates at 1:24 eastern, just a little more than an hour from now, coming 17,000 miles from earth, exiting at 3:24. satellite companies have been warned. they do not expect any satellite will actually be hit though. with about a million asteroids and meteors flying around earth's orbit, astronomers and telescopes around the planet are constantly looking up. >> we've seen and trackedded about 9,000 of them right now, and about a thousand of them are potentially hazardous. so we look at those carefully, and it turns

and no reports of it hitting anything, unlike in russia where this thing happened on friday and now, nasa is saying that it was bigger, faster and stronger than they thought instead of 50 feet, it was 55 feet. instead of 33,000 miles per hour, it was going 40,000 instead of 300 kilotons of explosive power it was 500, it was as big as the biggest nuclear device in history that got the new measurements and checked the infra-sound stations around the globe and people in russia are scrambling to see if they can find chunk of it. a small chunk can sell for up to $4,000 because as experts say, there is scientist gold in them there rocks. listen. >> these pieces really are sort of like museums of the solar system and bound up in their composition, clues of what the early system was like, studying these help us open a door and look back in time and possibly gain more information about what the solar system was like very early in its history. and they explained the reason that these things have so much information in them. because there's no erosion on them at all. they're in the purest state and
